Graduate Student Financial Aid

If you are a degree seeking graduate student at FSU planning to take 6 credits or more per semester, you may apply for federal loans to help cover the cost of attending FSU.

• First, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) no later than February 15 of each year to apply for federal loans, which are the only federal resource available to graduate students.
  
  
  
• You may also consult the Graduate Scholarship section of this website for more information on graduate scholarships you may apply for. These scholarships must be applied for separately.
